Footlickers Recommended Mods

These are the recommended client mods for playing on the Footlickers Minecraft server – a vanilla+ experience with real server-side support behind it, not just a random mod pile.

Core:
Distant Horizons – extended render distance, backed by real server-side LOD generation (DistantHorizonsSupport plugin), so distant terrain is accurate, not guessed.
Simple Voice Chat – real proximity voice chat, synced with the server’s Discord bridge.
Xaero’s Minimap and Xaero’s World Map – waypoints and a full explored-world map, synced with server data.

Performance:
Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, EntityCulling, ImmediatelyFast, C2ME – a real, tested performance stack. Big FPS/TPS wins, no gameplay changes.

Visuals:
Iris + Solas Shader – lightweight, vanilla-style shaders with full Distant Horizons support.
Entity Texture Features (ETF), Entity Model Features (EMF), Entity Sound Features (ESF) + Fresh Animations – dynamic mob animations, textures and sounds. Still vanilla-feel, just more alive.
Continuity – connected textures (glass, bookshelves, etc.) for a cleaner look.

Install via the Modrinth App: download this pack, drag the .mrpack file onto the Modrinth App, and it’ll set up the instance for you automatically.
